Walk reverently around the Cathedral, dawdle through Winchester College then head through an arch on to Kingsgate Street and dive into The Wykeham Arms. Clerics, lecturers and students have mingled around the open fires for 250 years. And on show is what's been left behind: Latin exam results, walking sticks and names etched into one of the school desks that now serves as a table. There are rooms upstairs from £94 and the beer's not bad either – it's the best town pub in the country, according to The Good Pub Guide 2013.
